this recipe has been around for some time - i do not know who first posted this - so very good
Dwell In The ShellGet
your shears and cut the clear membrane off the belly of the tail, getting rid
of the tiny feet, exposing the meat. Rinse them good, dry them with paper towel
and place them shell side up on a cutting board. Take a heavy knife or cleaver,
place it longwise (parallel) in the center of the shell and tap the back of the
blade into the shell, cracking it ever so slightly. This is so our tail will
lay flat on the grill. Do not take meat out of the shell! Now flip them over,
belly side up. Take a bit of oil (I used peanut )and pour a small amount on
your fingers, and lightly rub the meat. Don't use much at all, barely a
drizzle. Grab a lime or two and squeeze juice and pulp all over the meat,
liberally. Then shake on garlic powder and a touch of Lowry's seasoning salt. I
then have to throw my favorite ingredient of all time, which goes on everything
I cook, New Mexican green Chile
powder. Don't worry if you don't have this, it's hard to find, and your
lobsters will still be far and above any lobster you ever had before. Place
covered tails in fridge for an hour or so to marinade while your getting your
cooker ready.Get a
good hot bed of lump going and preheat your cooker to 400 - 450 degrees. As all
of you know, when it comes to seafood and a good hot fire, you must move
swiftly because every minute counts. Place tails, meat side down on the grill
and press them flat. This is why we weakened the shells earlier with the
tapping cleaver. Set your metal cup on the grill also with butter and minced
garlic so it will melt and sauté' the garlic. Close the lid. If you don't have
a metal cup to use on the grill while you're cooking', get one !Open
the cooker after 5 minutes and with a leather glove, carefully turn tails over
onto their shells so meat is facing up towards the sky. Take your cup (grab it
with a leather glove please) with the butter and garlic, and spoon sautéed
mixture onto the lobster tails. The tails will form a slight cupped shape which
will hold most of the butter in place, but your fire will rage for a minute,
and that is great. Close the lid down and slowly begin to close top and bottom
drafts so they can "Dwell in the Shell" for 5 more minutes. Remember
- with a good hot fire, 5 minutes per side, that's it. With 50 dollars worth of
lobster on the grill, you definitely want to pay attention. I don't recommend
holding any conversations with your company while you're fixing this supper.
Tell your family and friends that you'll socialize again after this crucial 10
minutes is over. Once everyone tastes what you've agonized and sweated over for
10 minutes, no more explanations will be necessary. Simply,Enjoy!
